3 day old x51 R3 smells like a burning plastic
First post, a few minutes ago, my room started to smell like a burning plastic and I'm sure it's from my alienware x51 R3, my pc didn't shut down itself, or shutoff itself rather. I have GTX 970, i7-6700, 16GB of ram, 1TB 7200rpm Toshiba Hard drive, 330W power supply. All drivers are updated. I know the case looks great, but it's not as great as I thought it would be when it comes to cooling the rig.
Is there any alternate case and power supply for my alienware x51 R3? Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, I already did the stress test twice, the other day and yesterday, All the results are passed. My BIOS is updated to 1.2.6 and all drivers are update.

Hi, I can open the case, but I can't separate all the components to find where the burning smells is due to I might not be able to put them back together. Anyhow, I already did use HWMonitor and updated my BIOS to 1.2.6, every driver is updated. I just booted up my pc and this is my HWMonitor

GTA 5 at HIGH settings
I tried the stress test and the full test, and everything was passed.

Well, I opened up my case just right now, I didn't see any plastic inside. I just hope nothing is burning inside and I hope that burning plastic smell is just normal because my x51 is new.
